I just wanted to say Hello. I have just recently rediscovered my love of the Ukulele. I have found this site to be a great resource.
I am proud to say I bought my first Ukulele for around 30 dollars directly from the Kamaka factory back in the early seventies. I grew up on Oahu; This was an elementary school field trip. Sadly, I do not have that one anymore.
We were out out vacation last year (sharing childhood memories with my wife and kids) and I came across a local luthier at the aloha swap meet. He had a pair of Koa tenors which we bought both for a discount price. One for myself and one for sister. I took the one with blue bindings. Awesome sound and playability. Edmund Bacani EBB "Nice Ukulele" was his brand. I see some other UU'ers have some of his ukes. Pics later.
